NOTICE: Manually editing files in the system data folder is an advanced topic for Kodi. Most users don't need to manually edit files in the system data folder.
NOTE There are two userdata folders, the system one contains default settings necessary for Kodi to operate, and the userdata folder for user modifications. Do not touch the files in the first system-userdata folder. Most references on the wiki are about editing the second, user-accessible, userdata folder. This page is for reference only!!
The system data folder is where files needed to operate are stored. This includes the executable files, system data files and default addons/settings.
In most/all cases - it is recommended that system files remain as is and User profile Userdata files are modified instead.
